Through the LAUNCH summer program, students participate in the U of T Engineering experience from the convenience of their community. LAUNCH allows students the opportunity to take part in fun and engaging STEM learning through hands-on activities modelled after U of T science and engineering courses. The course instructors are current undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Toronto in Science and Engineering fields who share their experiences in STEM and provide mentorship to students interested in STEM careers.
